Rozwój współczesnej psychologii wobec osiągnięć neurogenomiki i biologii systemów
Development of modern psychology in the context of achievements in neurogenomics and systems biology

Summary/Abstract: Human genome consists of almost 30 thousand genes encoding information necessary for the development of human brain built of 1011 neurons interconnected into a network by means of 1015 synapses. Functional neurogenomics investigates how genome as a whole influences evolution and development of structures and functions of nervous system. Operation of human brain is on the one hand determined by genetically conditioned biological features and environmental factors on the other. Both groups of factors, affecting at a given time, dynamically shape brain functioning. Despite the reductionist character of research in molecular mechanisms that take place in the development and adaptation of the brain, including such data into multidimensional analysis of system biology, allows to obtain a more holistic picture of the researched phenomenon.
